Abstract

A filter pack is formed of a pleated filter section and a top edge band and a bottom edge band that form a frame. The filter section and the frame are formed of a nonwoven polymer material, preferably a polyester material. The filter section is retained in the frame by an adhesive, preferably also a polyester material. The filter pack provides more filtration media per area, leading to more efficient filtration. The filter pack is fully shreddable and does not require separation into various components for recycling.
